Signs and Symptoms

The canopy of infested trees begins to thin above infested portions of the trunk and major branches.

Heavily infested trees show what is called ‘canopy die-back” that generally starts in the top of the tree.

Most of the canopy will be dead within 2 years of when symptoms are first observed.

Up to 1/2 of the branches may die over the course of a year.

The Ash Borer destroys both water and nutrient tissues under the bark.

Adult beetles leave a “D”-shaped exit hole in the bark which are roughly 1/8 inch in diameter.
